No state had enough third party votes to flip red to blue had they all gone blue, so can we give this a rest?

The DNC failed, plain and simple.

And Pennsylvania and Georgia. The so-called swing states really took a wild swing this time.

Got me there, though if you look and tally only the left candidates who might’ve actually gone for Harris otherwise it’s still not true.

And in any case, she still loses even if she got these states.

But they wanna blame someone who doesn’t impact anything! Why blame a bad campaign when you can blame 0.03% of the voters!

It was a good campaign. Maybe it could have been even better, sure, but the amount of Monday night quarterbacking in here is silly.

The only thing I can question about it, I’m not even sure about.

The problem wasn’t anything the campaign did. The problem was that “did joe Biden drop out” was trending on Google the day of the election. Tell me how to reach those people.

Do you think there weren’t enough ads? Not enough door knocking? What exactly, would you have them do?

I actually think people who think any part of politics is “plain and simple” are the real problem.

“The real problem” sounds pretty plain and simple that.

Seriously though what are you saying? What’s the point of that statement?

They failed, that’s plain and simple. The cause behind that? Probably more complicated.

Yeah, and since it sounds pretty much that way, it definitely is that way and you win the internet argument, right?

I think the main problem in discussing most issues is that people oversimply them. Memes and meme-level thinking don’t get to the essence of an issue, they just pretend to by expressing a single point of view, reinforcing the false belief that the whole issue is plain and simple, and excusing people for not bothering to exert their brains much before the scroll to the next item in their feed.
